Writing Wednesday | Poem: Who I Am

I wrote this back as an assignment for my Creative Writing class my Junior year. I haad a lot of fun with this one and I hope you guys like it. Enjoy!

Who I Am

I am me not you

not anyone.

I dream of a life that is mine

to control and not others.

I create whole worlds with my pen

when I write.

In Sleeping Beauty’s castle

the clock strikes one hundred years

and the girl in the tower returns to the

world.

Is that what I am?

Sleeping Beauty awakening after

one hundred years?

I am no princess and no damsel

in distress.

I love who I am

not what my parents try

to make me.

I live in a world where everything round is good:

the sun, wheels, cookies, and the princess.

But still I love who I am

no matter what anyone says.

Angels are pure and sweet

not evil or unkind.

I pointed to a place where kids had made angels in the snow.

For some reason, I told him that a troop of angels

had been shot and dissolved before they hit the ground.

Maybe I shot them for

coming into my world

of imagination.

I imagine life differently

for me.

I imagine me stepping

into the sun.

Then wants to go out into the world

where she leaps lightly and for no apparent reason across the lawn,

then sits, perfectly still, in the grass.

I feel this way

almost everyday.

I want a life to myself

that no one else can control.

I want to create a world

that only I know exists.

Five Tips to Get Out of a Reading Slump

Hey fellow readers! So seeing as I've been in a bit of an off-and-on reading slump for the past couple of months, I decided that I'll give you a few tips to help you all get out of a slump when you find yourselves in one. Without further preamble, here are five tips to out of a reading slump. 1. Do Something Else: Sometimes after a really good/emotional/powerful book, it's easy to fall into a reading slump. Doing something else- whether it be playing video games or watching t.v.- can be a worthwhile break from reading. A break from reading can sometimes help to reignite the passion to read. 2. Get a Change of Scenery: Reading in the same spot all the time can cause a reading slump. So go find a new spot to read! Be it in the kitchen, the living room, or outside. Reading in a different place can be very beneficial to keep from falling into a slump. 3. Find a New Genre to Read: When reading the same genre over and over again, it causes a reading slump due to reading th...

Delirium

Title: Delirium (Delirium #1) Author: Lauren Oliver Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Published: February 2012 Medium Read In: Paperback Pages: 441 Rating: 4 Why I Read It: I was curious to what all the good ratings were about. Summary: Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't. Review: This book reminded me a lot like Matched by Allie Condie, in which the government systems are slightly alike. The only difference is that love still exists in Matched whereas it does not exist in this book. I found it difficult to relate to Lena in anyway until the end of the novel. Lena...
